Recent pictures of Robbie

at the 80's Skate Night at Hume Lake

Note: The "leggings" are not actually leggings, but rather a full-bodied leotard. He said he wore the shirt because he felt that the leotard alone was just not appropriate. Is any part of this outfit appropriate?

A Tremendous Sunday

Woke Up On Time (well ... almost)

Nicole's Hair

Sunday night, Nicole decided to try and make her hair "curly" by tying it in multiple rubber bands and sleeping in it. This was the result ...

A Much Needed Update

Soooo ... I have obviously not posted for a little while. I have been out enjoying my summer, enjoying my friends, enjoying my life AND taking lots of pictures (by the way, "I love my life!"). I think it is time for an update - find a comfortable chair and put your feet up because this may take longer than expected.

In late June I got to hang out with my dear friend, Chelsea. We spent some much needed time together while walking the beach. The best part of the night was when I found a frisbee (a.k.a. "Totally Colorful Disc") laying on the sand. I had just been at Target earlier that day looking for a frisbee to keep in my car and they did not have any. But I found one! (it's the little things in life)




Later in the week, we had a sort of "going away bowling night" for Sean. At the end of the night we said our goodbyes and sent Sean off to Washington (but not before stopping at Denny's for a late night snack!).








I also celebrated a few birthdays during the month of June. The first was Pastor Myles' birthday ... we all know his birthday would not be complete without a science experiment! Below, you can see him making "homemade" ice cream (last picture shows the final product).






We also celebrated Danielle's birthday. Our first stop was Baskin Robbins and then we topped it off with a walk down the beach at Del Mar.












This is Nicole and I attempting to take a picture of us jumping ... the attempts were many and the final feeling of success was incredible.







More Photos To Come ...

Happy July!!

The ice cream man just drove by my house ... it is now officially summer. I guess the fact that the temperature has been about one million degrees for the past few weeks would also prove that summer has arrived. I appreciate the summer heat, but I DO NOT appreciate this year's humidity and random rainstorms. What is going on?? I feel like I'm living on a tropical island ... except for the lack of tropical plants/animals and water surrounding our city.

On another note, I watched the new Pride and Prejudice for the first time last night. I actually knew nothing about the story, but I was quite entertained and thoroughly impressed with Mr. Darcy and his ardent love for Elizabeth. I suggest that men everywhere watch and take notes!

Fortunes I Have Received In My Fortune Cookies This Year . . .

Your fastidious nature will have much more fun this year!
(I like the sound of that! And how did they know I'm fastidious?!?)

A beautiful, smart & loving person will be coming into your life

A friend will bring you a big surprise soon
(It's worth noting that the Chinese word on the back of the fortune is "haizi" which translates to "children" - will I be birthing a large child soon??)
